Well, I ended up launching a little late due to rod crate troubles. Oh well, finally launched just as the wind was picking up like $^*@#$!! We were planning on going over to the smith Island and the breakwater, but were swept half way out to sea, and had to paddle like a Mother to get back in. Finally made it back and were freezing cold and said screw the fishing. We then powered over to avila beach and explored the creak and discovered something neat. Everywhere we would go, hundreds of anchovies would dart around, but you could only see them with polarized glasses. Ended the day dumping the yak from lots of fun waves in the surf, and fishless. Planning on launching next weekend bright and early with the correct setups and a better crate to hold my gear, some new fish traps and fastracs, and
warm clothes. By the way, at about noon the wind kicks in, so after that, watch TV! I had a great time and talked to one other yaker who gave me a swimbait, said he got one short, and got a legal yesterday on the swimbait. I tell ya, i need to get some new swimbaits. Do they work being trolled too?

Till Later,
Joel
To fish, or not to fish, what a stupid question!!
